[edit] History

The five band members met at University of Copenhagen in Copenhagen in 1995. Charismatic frontman Olsen and lead guitarist Kern have been the core of the band from the start. The band made a demo tape in 1996, which included the song Hestevisen, which was featured on the hugely popular DR P3 radio show Tæskeholdet. This instantly propelled the band to national stardom, despite not having recorded an album yet.

The band went to the studio and recorded their debut album Bagsiden Af Medaljen in 1998, but the album failed to make a commercial breakthrough. For the following seven years, not much was heard from the band. In 2005, Magtens Korridorer caught the attention of Karrierekanonen, a program for discovering new musical talents in Denmark.[1] Same year, the band released the album Friværdi, which was a commercial and critical succes.[2] Several singles were released such as Lorteparforhold, Picnic (på Kastellet), Nordhavn Station and Sara har...

Frontman Olsen is also a Ph.D. in molecular biology, and he teaches at the University of Copenhagen.[3]

Magtens Korridorer opened Orange Stage at the 2006 Roskilde Festival.

Johan Olsen hosted a radioshow on DR P3 during the summer of 2007 called "Summer School"[4]
